00:00Farmers gather like birds of a feather. There's something holding all our blocks together.
00:08Without it we'd all groan and seethe. More pressure to us than the air we breathe.
00:12Not water boots or handy horses. It's more valuable than all those resources.
00:17I think you know what I've got in mind. I'm talking, of course, of bale and twine.
00:21Bale and twine. Bale and twine. Never leave the house without bale and twine.
00:28Bale and twine. Bale and twine. It'll sail you fine, never fail to shine.
00:32Super duper tyre looper bale and twine. Need horses reins? Well just you holler.
00:39It can then be used for a quick dog collar. Securing loads and tying what's not.
00:43It's ever at the ready when your fan belt's shot.
00:45Leather might be all fine and dandy, but as an eatin' hat bandage sure is handy.
00:49It's a bandage when you've had a stacker. It's all I use for my own whipcracker.
00:54It'll patch a fence, a gate or a hat. It'll patch a friendship if it comes to that.
00:58Twine is what a sports pro chooses. We all know Velcro is for losers.
01:03Bale and twine. Bale and twine. Never leave the house without bale and twine.
01:09Bale and twine. Bale and twine. It'll sail you fine, never fail to shine.
01:13Super duper tyre looper bale and twine. Handle's broke? Then you can't go wrong
01:20cause it adds a nice touch to the Louis Vuitton. Fix a ladder that's missing a rung.
01:24Or fix a ladder in your stocking if it comes undone.
01:27A broken watch band is no big loss. You can double it up as dental floss.
01:31Tie balloons for the big surprise. For a farmer's arrest, use it on bad guys.
01:35Just ignore those fashion wowsers. It's the ideal stuff to sew up your trousers.
01:40Zip ties might be cheap online, but real farmers use bale and twine.
01:44Bale and twine. Bale and twine. Never leave the house without bale and twine.
01:50Bale and twine. Bale and twine. It'll sail you fine, never fail to shine.
01:55Super duper tyre looper bale and twine. Here's a thing, while it's fantastic,
02:02don't tell the greens that it's made of plastic. Sustainable? No, but a real safe bet it's a
02:06wonder it hasn't been cancelled yet. A hippie headband or a racing stripe.
02:10With a piece of bike tube you can fix any pipe. Earrings, purse strings,
02:14a leash for the pup, a double insurance to keep your duds up.
02:17It's held together, the odd chopper rotor, and keeping in place my starter motor.
02:21Mazda knew it when they pulled a Swifty. What's the BT4 in a BT50?
02:26Bale and twine. Bale and twine. Never leave the house without bale and twine.
02:32Bale and twine. Bale and twine. It'll sail you fine, never fail to shine.
02:36Super duper tyre looper bale and twine. Musicians who can't find a cord,
02:43keep the pen attached to the old whiteboard. Stringing tomatoes and stringing roses,
02:47stringing up parts on real old dozers. G-strings, key rings, what on earth are
02:52these things? It's right about now that you realise that I can't sing.
02:54A ripper hair tie all dads will find, or secure a man bun if you're so inclined.
02:58So come for a cuppa, not a big convention, and we'll raise a toast to this marvellous
03:02invention. Pull up a bale is what I wish I could say, if I could only find something to secure my hay.
03:07Bale and twine. Bale and twine. Never leave the house without bale and twine.
03:13Bale and twine. Bale and twine. It'll sail you fine, never fail to shine.
03:18Super duper tyre looper bale and twine. Word to your mother. How is she?
03:24Vera, isn't it? Heard she had gout in the wall back there.
03:28Shocking thing that gout, eh? Reminds me of old Stu Dugout back in 74.
03:34We were camped out there on the Kamajinga Plains, about 5,000 head of clean skin,
03:38on our way to take them up to the Yangoolam sail yards.
03:41Anyway, all I had was this piece of bale and twine.
